I have been experimenting a fix on the worn Ivory Leather in my 1993 Accord Special Edition. The Leather was stained, cracked, pitted, etc. I could not stand looking at it, and this is not my eclipse.
Here are some before pictures of the passenger seat. The after pictures were taken at the same time of the day, with the same lighting. The seat is waiting a final buff to bring out the most shine.
AND THE AFTER PICTURES
What does everyone think? I am going to be doing the driver side and rear seat within the next week or so. I was almost ready to buy tan cloth seats for this car, and throw these away. I am glad I tried this experiment.
Seats need to cure for 48 hours, then buffed and conditioned. They can be used 24 hours after that. This one seat took me about 6 hours from start to finish. I am sure with practice I can reduce the time, but time must be alloted for proper drying.
The dye fully cures within 72 hours it will not rub off onto clothing, etc. It will not come off unless intensely scrubbed with acetone or something of that nature.

I was at this furniture restripping store where they strip then restain wood. In one of the rooms a guy was not recovering but redying a sofa. I asked how he did it etc, he was showing me it looked intense. He told me for a certain amount of money he could match the dye for me. He did then I experimented on this one seat. Note: I only redyed the sections that needed it and left the back and the sides untouched and it matched perfectly.

WOW, I did not think I was advertising at all, simply informing. I am 22 year old senior in college who tried something out. Just saying that there is hope for all who has busted leather seats. I can guide people along the way if they choose to attempt it on their own, or just do it for them.
